Julie Boonstra's starred in two ads for Americans For Prosperity.Screengrab from AFP

Good Sunday morning, it's time for another edition of the Michigan Delegation, your look at what happened last week on Capitol Hill and the federal elections in Michigan.

Obamacare When Americans For Prosperity released a television ad with Dexter leukemia patient Julie Boonstra, it aimed to attack U.S. Rep Gary Peters, D-Bloomfield Hills, on his vote for the Affordable Care Act.

New information further contradicts the first ad, in which Boonstra said her costs are increasing.

“Now, the out-of-pocket costs are so high, it’s unaffordable,” Boonstra says in the ad. “If I do not receive my medication, I will die.”

But last week, the Detroit News discovered that Boonstra will actually pay less with her new plan after the Affordable Care Act went into effect.

Boonstra's new plan costs $11,952 a year, including copays, according to the Detroit News. Her old plan cost $13,200 a year before the added costs, so she is saving more than $1,200 a year.

The Washington Post upgraded the ad from a rating of Two Pinocchios to Three.

When the Detroit News asked Boonstra about what it found, she said it “can’t be true...I personally do not believe that."

In response, AFP told the News the ad ran to highlight that Boonstra's plan changed because of the law and she didn't know what was in her new plan and was confused.

Terri Lynn Land's healthcare plan

On Monday, U.S. Senate Candidate and former Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land released a plan to tackle health care in the U.S.

Land said she'd support controlling medical spending with pre-tax health savings accounts and allowing people to buy insurance policies from other states.

"I support policies that will provide real health care reform to lower costs, expand access and allow Michigan families to keep their plan and their doctor," Land said in a statement.

Some of her views, though, align with what is included in the Affordable Care Act. Land said people with preexisting conditions should not be denied coverage in the future.

This is the first policy item Land has posted to her website since announcing her campaign.

Democrats attacked Land's announcement. Peters spokeswoman Haley Morris pointed out to the Associated Press that Land supports repealing the law, which would "cut access to preventative health services like mammograms, cancer screenings and prenatal care and ... let insurance companies go back to dropping people's coverage when they get sick."

MI03 gets national spotlight: The primary challenge to U.S. Rep Justin Amash, R-Cascade Township, by West Michigan businessman Brian Ellis is starting to get some national attention.

Reuters had a story last Sunday highlighting the race, casting it as an example of the larger rift between the Tea Party and establishment Republicans.

Moderate GOP organization Main Street Partnership, which counts U.S. Reps. Dave Camp and Fred Upton as members, has backed "establishment" incumbents but no challengers. Here is a key paragraph from the Reuters story:

But the Main Street Partnership has met with Ellis and has not ruled out entering the fray on his behalf, even though doing so would break with the group's practice so far, said Sarah Chamberlain, the group's chief operating officer. The group has helped Republican incumbents resist Tea Party challengers, but has not spent money to challenge a sitting member of Congress.
